The people who burn bridges to light their way are the same people who complain that they don’t have enough bridges to cross.

We were born needing care and we'll die needing care. But, let's not forget that what happens in between shouldn't be no care. For not needing care doesn't mean care is not needed. When more people who care show up living feels infinitely less unfair.
Sometimes the best way to learn isn’t through experience, but through other people’s experience.
And it’s not even like those experiences are hard to come by.
They’re abundant. They’re accessible (especially to those reading this). And there are plenty that are completely relevant to you and your path.
Here’s the thing: you could just venture out onto the path and wing it.
Or, you could chat with the guy who’s just coming back and learn a thing or two.
It’s the insider tips that not only keep you on the right path, but get you to the best viewpoints along the way—minus the headaches.
Be generous with your thoughts.
When those who express kind, constructive, supportive thoughts are quiet, then our collective mind is taken over by those who spew overwhelming amounts of the opposite.
We may only be one, but we are connected to ten.
And so are they.
You can always get up after you fall.
And you can always try again if you miss.
But you can’t ever recover hateful words after they’re spoken.
Nor can you undo harmful actions after they’re taken.
Lesson? Move quickly when you’re focused on growth and generosity.
And move slowly when you’re charged by emotion and hate.
You can’t just give love once and expect it to last.
…Or twice, or three times, or ten.
Love needs to be regularly renewed.
…Twice, three times, ten times per day!
…Or week or whatever works for you and yours.
But it will only last so long as it is renewed.
As soon as you stop renewing your love, like Netflix, it’ll only be a matter of time before it expires.
What’s worse than not communicating?
Fragmented communication that gets misconstrued.
It gives the illusion that communication happened when really, it didn’t.
And what follows are actions that are taken on unclear, confused, incomplete information.
…What leads to fragmented communication? Fragmented listening.
What leads to fragmented listening? Fragmented attention.
And what leads to fragmented attention? A person’s belief in their ability to multi-task.
Here’s the thing: you can’t. So, don’t.
Start single-tasking your attention with those whom you’re speaking with.
And if you can’t single-task with them, then don’t even try or pretend to try to.
Fragmenting a conversation can do far more harm than not having the conversation at all.
